Profile:
A Surrey stalwart, Ernest Hayes was one of the finest batsmen of his day, as
well as being a useful leg-break bowler, and fine slip fielder. It was in
fact his years fielding in the slips to Richardson and Lockwood that
curtailed his career - he retired in 1919 as the injuries sustained to his
hands fielding in the slips made it increasingly difficult for him to grip
the bat. His best years were before the war - he debuted for Surrey at the
age of 19 in 1896, and played continuously through 1914. His finest season
was perhaps 1906, when he made 2309 runs at an average of 45.27, with seven
centuries. He was an attractive and dashing bat, his strength lying mostly
in his front-foot driving, although he was also a courageous puller of
the short ball. He played one Test against Australia in 1909, and also
played four times against South Africa in 1905-6 and in the Triangular
tournament, although without distinction. He captained the Players against
the Gentlemen in 1914, and served with distinction in the First World War,
being commissioned, wounded, and awarded the MBE. He re-joined Surrey as an
amateur after the war. After 1919 he went to Leicestershire as coach,
regularly playing for the 2nd XI. In 1926, he was in such strong form for
the seconds that at the age of 50, he was asked to turn out for the County
side. He was run out for
99 in his first innings on his return to first-class cricket, and topped the
Leicestershire averages that season. In 1929 he moved to coach Surrey, and
he later became a publican (DL 2000).
